Reflections [The Primeval]

[Boethiah]

[member="Ari Jade"]

Location: Coruscant
Objective: N/A

Anja had been exploring the world for a short while now; this was the capital of the One Sith -- their world, the world of her ally. For The Primeval this was one of the few worlds they held records of, capital of many empires succeeded and fallen. For the Host Lord -- little did she know -- it would be something much greater, a reflection on her past.

Travelling the underworld was not something done by the most vulnerable and her posture did not represent weakness, those who lived down here were likely criminals or perhaps a few resistance fighters trying to will the power to defeat the Sith. A few Umbaran and Sephi guards escorted her as she traversed the boundaries of many locations, going from cantina's to clubs and casinos to gambling dens. There was so much ill down here, and it displeased her greatly but there was something else... Something she felt but was unsure of what. As a Witch she had begun to devote herself to her new-found powers, developing great and terrible magics alike. She had remembered manifesting the will to destroy her enemies during the rescue operation, although she did not kill the Jedi she did know she could've if she was aware of her power sooner. There was no regret or grudge, the Host Lord did not hold onto her past but it always seemed to be in the reflections. Looking at the puddles of water, leaked from pipes and sourced by artificial reservoirs, she saw a glimpse of her past -- her early days of training to use the vibroblade and to grapple with her fellow students. These reflections were coming up more often and she had little idea why.

Her feet kept at their pace, she continued to walk down the alley until she entered an opening that seemed to be inhabited by no one.

Ari has been living on Coruscant for well over two months now after her family forced her to leave her home planet. Now exposed to the galaxy she begins to learn more every day then she did in a month back home. She knows she is shrouded in the exact fear her parents tried to keep her from that does not bother her though as she knows that she is in the down low away from reality and the real war that rages on above her. Only this day is different from the past 57 she has spent here and she knows something is not right she does not know what but she decides to go to the shaft to get a few glimpses of sunlight she can before the sun passes beyond the walls not to be seen again down there for a few months. She exits her apartment entering the hallway that connects her to the main tunnel where many shops are located but she doesn't head that way as it would take too long to reach the shaft. Walking down the hallway she passes a female. Rare it is to see anyone looking sane and not poor down in the underground and especially a female. She decides to not pay much attention and continues to walk towards the shaft.

Anja noticed in the corner of her eye that someone looked towards her before continuing; this caused a change in the Host Lord's path. Instead she commanded her guards to stay put in the opening and went after the girl, not in a chasing manner, but it was still somewhat of a pursuit to find out who she was. Her path carried her through a shaft that lead into a set of corridors, using what command of her powers she had she followed the trail set out by [member="Ari Jade"] and made her way closer.

The guards on the other hand simply waited, intimidating all who trailed the area.

Ari noticed the female had begun to follow her but that didn't bother her much as she had been followed by many people before down here but they eventually left her alone. She reached the shaft and just in time the sun was directly overhead illuminating everything in it's path from the shy to the fog below her a rare sight on a planet like this.

 

[Boethiah]

The Host Lord approached from behind, stalking the path like a predator before calmly -- gracefully even -- approached as if no more dangerous than a flower.

Her pale-blue eyes gazed at [member="Ari Jade"] , "And who are you?", she said from behind. Her hand grabbing onto a small beam that allowed her to protrude from the entrance way.

She wasn't really prone to navigating the underworld but her new senses were becoming more and more handy as things went on.

Ari turns around not really bothered by her follower and begins to look her up and down observing her more than she could before. "My name is Ari Jade." She says as something does not seem right. She knows there is fear surrounding her follower yet Ari does not care about the danger she is in.

 

[Boethiah]

Approaching from the entrance way, Anja took a few steps -- each one carefully placed until she stood only a few feet away from @ Ari Jade

"You're quite straightforward.", she said in remark for giving her name so easily. Either that was bravery or carelessness. "Why do you walk alone?", her question seemed to have came out of nowhere following her previous statement. That being said there was something peculiar about the girl that attracted Anja's attention. The guards remained placed further out in the alley, leaving the two of them very much alone.

Coruscant may have been a big world but it was inhabited by trillions, so being alone wasn't as easy as one might think.

 

[Flobat]

Still not seeming to care about her follower. "I walk alone because I have nothing better to do." In return she asks. "Why do you follow people?"

 

[Boethiah]

The question was almost odd. No one has asked her something like that before, "I merely cross paths.", was her response to the question. It wasn't a lie, really, although she did intend to follow [member="Ari Jade"] it wasn't her goal. She simply wanted to see the path she walked.

Everything about this world was new and strange, the people more so than the towering city that covered the world in a steelcrete shell. "You're interesting. You have potential.", she spoke in vague riddles with no intent on having the person make meaning of them. She was just talking to herself, really, but if they did make meaning it could make the difference.

Force-sensitives used to notice Anja's wild, untamed darkness but now that has turned into a forged, refined power that only reflected on its wild self -- still wild enough, and that is what made her a Witch. She had no code, no concept of anything but the magics she was capable of using. Sith Magic was sometimes what it had been referred to.

Ari can tell that her follower is troubling her own self and making muttered unnecessary comments. Ari turns back around looking up and down the shaft watching the shadows of ships flying in and out. They remind her of the capitol of Chandrila she would visit with her father once a year to collect the family's pay for their harvest, they had to take a ship there and she remembers it going into the passenger shaft similar to this one but shorter. Ari turns back around looking at her follower and decides to leave and go back to her home here.

 

[Boethiah]

Anja didn't stop her pace, she followed her at a rather close yet comfortable distance. Well, it wasn't too close but probably uncomfortable for [member="Ari Jade"] if she didn't like being followed.

"Where are you going?", she asked curiously.

That was probably odd, to ask someone where they were going as you in many definitions were stalking them. Of course, Anja was well-known amongst her people for having a very odd curiosity that was both her greatest asset and weakness alike.

 

[Flobat]

Walking back through the corridors she knows she is being followed again and is asked the question. "What to you does it matter? You know what why do I matter to you so much!?" She says slightly angered.

 

[Boethiah]

"You have a temperament.", she noted aloud -- possibly to make sure that [member="Ari Jade"] heard her say so. Her footsteps were echoing throughout the corridors, and by this point her own Guards -- eager -- had stepped out of the shadows just in front, making Anja just behind Ari and them in front.

Anja's expression seemed distasteful in regard to the disobedience but luckily for them she was too interested in Ari to care much.

"It matters greatly, whether or not you know.", she finally responded to her question. "You are untapped."

 

[Flobat]

Ari notices the guards behind [member="Anja Aj'Rou"] "How can I matter greatly?" She responds adding, "Untapped? I'm sorry what?"

 

[Boethiah]

"You'll know it eventually.", she said as she took a few steps closer to [member="Ari Jade"]

Her feet stopping just short of her. "You have untapped potential, I see it now.", she stared right through Ari with her piercing eyes as if gazing out towards something unknown.

The Guards sat by idly and watched as their Host Lord conducted her prophetic business.

 

[Flobat]

Ari has never had an actual conversation like this to anyone but family so she stands there not knowing what to say in response other than, "Po... Potential of what?"

 

[Boethiah]

The Host Lord stepped back, just a little, and looked at [member="Ari Jade"]

"To be so much more.", she said as more thoughts flooded her head -- these visions -- communication between her and Nogras. "There's power to be had... Perhaps to defeat a certain enemy? No? Save a certain friend? Maybe.", she said enigmatically.

There was so much to think about and so little to enlighten. Perhaps it was all nonsensical, but Anja knew what she felt. What she saw.

 

[Flobat]

[member="Anja Aj'Rou"]

Ari still does not fully understand what is being said to her. "Are you one of those force using people?" Ari asks as that is the only thing she can think her follower is meaning to say to her.

 

[Boethiah]

Anja heard the term force thrown around before but it didn't describe her... Not exactly, at least. "The force?", she snickered at the thought. "Ah, yes! It's what some call magick?", she asked rhetorically. In truth she did use the force but it wasn't exactly that to her. It was something more; a way to command reality itself.

The Host Lord slunk around a bit, but she was no slouch. Her posture reflected her commanding nature as did the guards she brought with her.

Ari is beginning to become slightly impatient as her follower does not seem to know what to say to Ari so she just remains standing there slightly annoyed.
